Description
Symphony of an air-conditioned nation - Singapore.I was inspired by an idea of climate change by a good friend. So, I went this place to take some photos.
The reason why I gave this series of photo the name, is because first of all: the first photo on the left made me think of a piece of music, and when it starts playing, the birds heard the sound and flew. It is like the sound of the city, haha the noise from the air-cons.
The 'destruction' part is about the air-cons. They consume a lot of energy, then global warming in the big picture. The tall building in the center background somehow resembles a giant air-con, hahaha!!!
The center shot is actually stitched, like a panorama.
The photos are all taken in the same place from different direction.
Hope you like, and fight climate change, sleep everyday now without air-con, sweaty nights...hahaha....
Have to thank Megadeth for the title...

Tsk, sweaty nights. Not here, I'm rather needing to turn on the heating in the evening although it's only early September. OK, this house sucks in many ways though, and this is one of them

I think the doves, the movement on the left and the static image on the right are great...this is a very good composition!

a truly beautiful stitched image/tryptych. i love the b/w tones, the birds and theperson in focus in the middle photo. the title truly brings the air-con units to life. mmmm beautifully conceptualised and carried out!

You sure have lots of air-conditioning going on in Singapore. In Finland it's too cold or chilly most of the time so air-cons are pretty useless here I love that bird picture

I thought "Symphony of Destruction" was by Metallica? Not that it matters that much... still a great shot and a great song.

Well never mind then... I'm just ill-informed.
